Undocumented immigrants in Arizona might be unable to receive their state tax refunds if they cannot prove that the Social Security number that they have listed with their employers truly was issued to them.

This affects people like undocumented immigrants who apply to obtain a tax ID number, or ITIN, from the IRS.
